Where to reside

Day 5,402, 17:52 • Published in USA USA

• by Super Nova

Where to reside:
If you activate Houses you should chose a residence with population under 50.
If your residence has a population less than 50 you get a 20% bonus on the duration of the house (houses will last 8.4 days) and pay only a 1% activation fee (Property Tax ) – 1% of average market cost of the house you are activating

If population is 50 or more then duration bonus decreases and activation fee increases.
Currently the worse place in eUS is Frankfort Kentucky – duration bonus only 5% & Activation Fee is 3%
Next worse is Raleigh Virginia.
Every other Residence City in eUS is currently under 50 – but to allow for growth may want someplace under 40.

If population reaches 50 consider changing residence before activating another house.
Warning if change residence while House(s) are activated you will pay the Activation fee in the new residence for those active houses (prorated based on remaining duration)

Note the saving for Q1 house would be ~1700 when compared to Virginia and ~2500 for Kentucky which should more than cover any travel cost to work factories in Virginia and/or Kentucky

Note need to check City page to see the population - e.g. for Richmond Virginia check

Breaking News - refugees fleeing occupation have overrun DC - population is now 50 so not a good place for residents

So I am in VA, is it worth it to move my residence, then have to travel to KY & VA to work as manager?

Super Nova Day 5,402, 20:42

Yes - since will go from 10% duration bonus to 20% duration bonus - so effectively saving ~10% on each house - which for any of the nearby states should more than cover the travel cost

But need to take into account the tax you will pay on the already active houses - so wait until remaining duration on activated houses is low

The joys of home ownership!

How is everywhere under 50 when the lowest region when I open their page is Hawaii with 123 ?

Super Nova Day 5,403, 07:00

Fake news check https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/city/Honolulu/overview
Hawaii has only 7 residents

Sambeach Day 5,403, 04:01

West Virginia now 46... expect 4 new residents, if someone need to change...

Mister Y Day 5,403, 05:49

I see 220 residents in West Virginia.

Sambeach Day 5,403, 06:27

Here https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/city/Charleston/overview I see 46 Residents, 56 In transit

Sambeach Day 5,403, 06:29

Here https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/region/West-Virginia 220, Which is correct ?

Mister Y Day 5,403, 06:42

Ahahahaha, this game litterally SUCKS !

Super Nova Day 5,403, 07:11

Residence is based on City not state

TheNorm Day 5,403, 11:35

I'm thinking its counting dead people on one page, and not the other...? Either way, the game seems to be going by the number on the 'residence page' as the game mechanics (house duration) also seem to be following the number there (under 50 atm).

TheNorm Day 5,403, 11:36

and 55 now in transit, look for another region.. 😛

Super Nova Day 5,403, 12:38

West Virginia has been stable for a while 45 +/- 1
Wouldn't select it for a new residence but wouldn't be in a hurry to move

That said I do check the population before activating a house

Mister Y Day 5,403, 05:48

Do you mean 500 residents? Every state of eUSA has 100+

Super Nova Day 5,403, 07:10

The state may bit not the capital

You have to check the City page e.g. for Richmond Virginia
https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/city/Richmond/overview
Population is 67

The state number probably includes all those that "died" when in the state
whereas the city number does not

Mister Y Day 5,403, 07:13

Oh wow, dead people counts! I will use the same statement in real, when someone ask me how many people there are in my village I can say 350, because 260 are in our cemetery.

Super Nova Day 5,403, 07:24

I am assuming Dead only count for state population - probably older code

Also when you move to a region - you are not in the Capital City
To be in Capital City have to move via residence page not via the region move

Super Nova Day 5,403, 07:27

Also many places in the US the dead vote - which is why election day is in early November - so the dead that rise for Halloween only have to hang around a few days to vote

Super Nova Day 5,467, 12:51

Current Safe Regions - regions that are training partners won't occupy - except briefly when there is a need for them to move to another region. So residence should be in one of these

Alaska
California
Florida
Kentucky
Nebraska
Tennessee
Virginia
Washington
Washington, D.C.
West Virginia

Alegretto Day 5,499, 16:57

So, residence should be in a safe region or in a low population region? Can't be both.

Alegretto Day 5,499, 17:00

I have my companies in a safe region and I have residency near by (20usd travel) in a low population region. That seems to be the right answer. Am I right with that?

Super Nova Day 5,619, 08:38

Forgot Texas

Alaska
California
Florida
Kentucky
Nebraska
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington
Washington, D.C.
West Virginia

Super Nova Day 5,499, 17:23

Alegretto regard 1st comment
yes it can be both if pick safe region other than Frankfort, Virginia, W Virginia, & DC should be okay (at present)

I'm in W Virginia & since it has gone over 50 will be moving before the next time I need to activate a House

regarding 2nd
You've got it - key metric is population safely under 50
